21、How to Improve Your Study Habits
Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student.【1】．You can receive better grades if you want to and even can be top students without additional work. Here’s how：
Plan your time carefully
Make a list of your weekly tasks. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.【2】．
【3】
It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions.
Make good use of your time in class
Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly
Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class.【4】．
Develop a good attitude to tests
The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent.
There are other techniques that might help you with your study. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques.【5】．Improving your study habits will improve your grades.
A．Share with them what you have found to be helpful
B．Skim before you read
C．Find a good place to study
D．This, however, is not necessarily the case
E．Read about these points in your textbook
F．Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play
G．A good review leads to improved performance on the test

23、Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g. “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g. “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation(正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity....Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.
【1】People volunteer mainly out of __________.
A．academic requirements
B．social expectations
C．financial rewards
D．internal needs
【2】What can we learn from the Florida study?
A．Follow-up studies should last for one year.
B．Volunteers should get mentally prepared.
C．Strategy training is a must in research.
D．Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.
【3】What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A．Individual differences in role identity.
B．Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.
C．Role identity as a volunteer.
D．Practical advice from researchers.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?

24、Astronomers have discovered the cause of the “Great Dimming（暗淡）of Betelgeuse” ： a cloud of dust partly hiding it from us.
As one of the largest stars that can be seen by the naked eye, the red supergiant star Betelgeuse is a familiar sight to professional and amateur astronomers alike. That’s perhaps why it was so surprising when the star’s brightness started to drop in October 2019.
This sudden drop caused a speculation that Betelgeuse was about to go supernova（超新星）—that is, reach the end of its life as a red supergiant, break away, and then bounce into a burning explosion so bright that we’d even be able to see it in the daytime. It wasn’t immediately clear to astronomers whether or not that was the case, since a supernova hasn’t been observed in our Galaxy since astronomer Johannes Kepler saw one in 1604.
But it never happened, and by April 2020, Betelgeuse was back to its normal brightness. Now, images of the star, taken with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, along with data from the GRAVITY instrument, have shown what happened to it.
The surface of Betelgeuse is always changing. Giant bubbles（气泡）of gas grow, become smaller and move around within the star, and occasionally it lets one go. Before the Great Dimming began, Betelgeuse let one of these bubbles go. Then a part of the star’s surface cooled down, and this temperature drop allowed the gas to cool enough to turn into solid dust.
The cloud of dust partly hid Betelgeuse from the Earth, particularly in the southern part.
“The dust getting away from cool evolved stars, such as the eruption we’ve just witnessed, could go on to become the building blocks of terrestrial planets（类地行星）and life,” said Emily Cannon, a PhD student at KU Leuven. “Looking up at the stars at night, we’ll feel these tiny, shining dots of light seem permanent. The dimming of Betelgeuse breaks this idea.”
【1】Why do astronomers feel amazed at the “Great Dimming of Betelgeuse”?
A．Because Betelgeuse is familiar to them.
B．Because Betelgeuse was ready to welcome a great explosion.
C．Because Betelgeuse’s brightness started to drop in October 2019.
D．Because Betelgeuse was blocked from us by a cloud of dust partly.
【2】What does the underlined word “speculation” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Admission.
B．Concept.
C．Principle.
D．Assumption.
【3】What contributes to the formation of terrestrial planets and life?
A．The dust from cool evolved stars.
B．The shining dots of light.
C．The changing appearance of a star.
D．The cooling down of a star.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A supernova transformed from Betelgeuse.
B．Terrestrial planets and life found by scientists.
C．The idea proved wrong by the dimming of Betelgeuse.
D．The “Great Dimming of Betelgeuse” caused by a cloud of dust.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. When thinking of selling the little creature, Mrs. Grant felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher (屠夫). Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “You see I am here for the lamb,” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
“That’s my lamb now, Charlie!” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours!” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the butcher’s boy, pushing Charlie aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (羊叫) very sadly. The lamb’s cry of griefwas too much for the mother, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.
“Please tell your boy to stop a moment,” she said to the butcher.
The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

Paragraph 1:
But the more she explained, the stronger her children begged for Daisy.
